Friendly, warm, honest, kind, and giving is how those who know me best describe my personality. I stand 5'10" tall with a large but well proportioned figure. I have long black hair, dark brown eyes and a warm smile. I have been told I have a pretty face, some have even said beautiful, others just can't look past my body size...which is why I am placing an ad here, hoping to find a man who will find this intelligent, articulate, down to earth woman as irresistable as I find him...I am not willing to settle, I want to find the man that I will share real chemistry with. Looking For: One thing I have learned from this internet dating process, is that it doesn't matter how many matching criteria someone has, or you have, or share, it all comes down to that undefinable chemistry..."IT" is either there, or it's not. What I am looking for, first and foremost, is a friend for life who just happens to also be my lover and confidante. Ultimately I am looking for someone to be a partner, to spend time with, to make me feel special and loved as I would want to make him feel special and loved. I want to share a relationship of mutual respect, honesty, and support where we learn and grow as individuals - together. The man I would share such a relationship with must be a man of integrity, who is honest- both with me and himself. A man who says what he means, and means what he says. A man who is emotionally available. Someone who can share passionate moments of desire and lust as well as moments of tenderness and closeness, and of course moments of laughter, smiles and joy.
